Fernando Alonso to keynote at Mobile World Congress 2018

McLaren Formula 1 Driver and double World Champion Fernando Alonso will be a featured speaker in a keynote session taking place on Tuesday, 27 February at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Widely regarded as one of F1’s most talented drivers of all time, Fernando has also challenged himself by competing in the Indianapolis 500 and Daytona 24 Hours in the past year. This season, Fernando is focused on returning McLaren to the front of the grid and will also compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Fernando will be joined onstage by Zak Brown, Executive Director of McLaren Technology Group. In this session, Fernando and Zak will share their perspectives on the intersection of motorsport and cutting-edge mobile technology. McLaren increasingly relies on connectivity and sensors as a critical tool in optimising the performance of all of their cars, both F1 and road, and collaborates with a broad ecosystem of companies from the technology and mobile industries to provide these solutions.

This keynote will be open to all Mobile World Congress attendees holding a Silver, Gold, Platinum or Press/Analyst Pass.
